To: Chancellor White, Trustees, and Members of the CSU
Community
From: The CSU Labor Council

The leadership of the CSU Labor Council, including
representatives from Academic Professionals of California (APC),
California Faculty Association (CFA), California State University
Employees Union (CSUEU), State Employees Trades Council United
(SETCU), and UAW (United Auto Workers), urges the Office of the
Chancellor, members of the Board of Trustees, Campus Presidents,
CSU administrators, and all members of the CSU community to
patronize union-friendly and fair hotels.

MAY 2016—More than 3000 delegates convened in Detroit last
weekend for the 2016 SEIU International Convention and CFA was
there.

One highlight of the weekend was a meeting focused on higher
education under the auspices of Faculty Forward, SEIU’s adjunct
organizing campaign. It was attended by newly organized and
soon-to-be unionized adjunct faculty from around the country,
many of whom took inspiration from CFA’s work.

The California Faculty Association is working alongside the
California Community College Association (CCA), and California
Teachers Association (CTA) locals to increase member involvement
in their unions.

Hank Reichman, CSU faculty member and long-time CFA leader at his
own CSU East Bay campus and on the CFA Bargaining Team, is now
national Vice President of the American Association of University
Professors.

APRIL 2015—Theresa Montaño (Chicano Studies), Northridge CFA
Chapter Affirmative Action rep, was elected Vice President of the
California Teachers Associaton by the delegates at CTA’s April
State Council meeting.

She joins President elect Eric Heins and Secretary-Treasurer
elect David Goldberg as the executive officers of CTA.
